An up-and-coming motocross racer from a motocross family, Austin Naylor had his sights set on the pro circuit until a horrific motorcycle crash changed everything. With shattered feet that left him bedridden for five straight months, a dejected Naylor started slipping back into bad habits of drinking and smoking to cope with his new reality. Believing he could never do the things he wanted to again, it wasn't until he barely recognized himself in a photo that Naylor realized how truly miserable he looked and felt. Fueled by the determination to make his life better with what he had to work with, Naylor got himself back into the gym and discovered a lifestyle and a community that had the power to reawaken his happiness and build him back up. He now focuses on trying to better himself, take the next step, and set the next goal because he knows he has the choice to never stop improving. Follow us on social media for daily fitness updates!

Coming from an athletic upbringing playing college baseball, Chad Belding got serious about hunting after the sudden death of his father in 2006. After teaming up with trainer Matt Pendola, Belding learned to approach hunting with the same mentality as any elite sport. Using chaos training, systemic breathing exercises, visualization techniques, and the tenacity of a dedicated athlete, Belding mastered the skills needed to excel on the hunt and avoid the kind of injuries and physical setbacks that can end a hunting career. A student of discipline and a proponent of natural conservation, living off the land, and not being afraid of a little elbow grease, Belding now dedicates his life to showing other guys and girls that you can feel better and have more strength, flexibility, and longevity doing something that you love.

Growing up, LaDawn Latawiec stayed active enough to hide her weight. Rather than try to be one of the "skinny girls," her niche became being that one friend who could eat everything on the table. As an adult, Latawiec turned to closet binging, locking herself in her room and eating everything in sight—until one insensitive joke made her realize her unhealthy habits were not so secret anymore. Motivated to transform her lifestyle as much as her body, Latawiec learned how relying on food for comfort had only made things hurt worse. When tragedy stepped in to test her emotional limits, Latawiec found she could rise up stronger and more determined than ever thanks to her new, healthier attitude.

After Scottish powerlifter Fergus Crawley survived a suicide attempt in 2016, he turned his life around with the help of an unlikely ally–a French Bulldog puppy. Then, he set his sights on one of the most grueling strength records out there: the most weight squatted in 24 hours. We did deep into his incredible story, and geek out on all the training deets. Highlights: - How he went from a normal student and lifter to depressed and suicidal - "It got to the stage where I think five days passed where I didn't say a word to anyone, other than to a coffee shop checkout employee or to someone at the local supermarket or something like that. I just sat back and thought, 'This just isn't me. This isn't the person I am. I'm sociable, I'm outgoing.' I couldn't understand why I was in the position I was in, but it came down to the fact that I'm a man. You don't talk about these things." - "The irony is I was training for strength but ultimately feeling like self-help was a complete weakness." - How getting a puppy—and talking to it—led him out of the abyss - Why he's talking about it now: "There's thousands upon thousands of men around the world in similar situations who feel like they can't talk about it. That is the crux of the issue. It was for me." - How he landed on the idea of attempting a grueling record on his favorite lift - "I want my attempt to be a symbol of strength in and of itself, but I also want the process and the story behind it to become a symbol of strength as well, rather than people seeing the mental health as a weakness." - Why his coach programmed his training "like an ultramarathon" - "So my training has involved horrifying amounts of cardio that I kind of didn't see coming, to be honest. But here we are." - His programming plan: 10 reps OTM... for a long, long time - His "baptism by fire" to get his body accustomed to lactate - His secret weapon: Many, many walking lunges. "As a leg movement for overall strength, stability, and positioning, they've just done wonders for me and my lower back and upper back and shoulders especially." - The overall arch of his training, and how he's peaking before the event - How he has managed recovery from workouts with 1,000-plus reps of squats - The challenge of nutrition: "During my 22 years on this earth, I've always been hungry. I've never been full." - How the terms "endurance" and "endurance athlete" lose all meaning when in the face of feats by hybrid athletes like Fergus and Ross Edgely - The detail questions: High bar or low? Squat shoes or flats? Belt or no? Supplements or junk food or both? Classical music or Slayer? How deep is he squatting? - The, shall we say, "digestive" concerns of the challenge - What comes next for him after the challenge—whether it succeeds or not Be sure to follow us on social media for daily fitness updates!

Kai Greene - How he transitioned from "chicken and rice all the time" to flexible dieting - "Science suggests that if you hold protein and calories consistent, it doesn't really matter what you do." - The importance of relatively easy, "punch the clock"-style workouts: "You're pushing blood around, and you're pushing nutrients around.

On the verge of her fourth go-round in the USA Powerlifting Raw Nationals, Meg Squats talks with us about her prep, how she used her program Uplifted to great effect in the offseason, and what she'd tell herself if she had it all to do over again. Highlights: * What rep-range makes her cringe the most * Why she keeps coming back to the USAPL raw nationals, and how she structures her year around it * The appeal of a (temporary) boring lifestyle * "I feel pretty secure that if Meg Squats doesn't show up at every single event, she's not just going to disappear off the face of the earth." * How much her numbers matter to her at this stage in her career * "It's a very relaxed intensity, if that makes sense." * How she's managed to feel good throughout this prep, and why that can be a bit freaky * Her specific recommendations for lifters struggling from fatigue during Uplifted or other heavy, demanding programs * How she manages the push-and-pull between sleep and her inbox * How much of the year she spends doing mixed "bro stuff" and powerlifting, versus just practicing the powerlifts * "Huge muscles is always the plan." * How she survives those slow deadlift singles: "Just count to 10 and then it'll eventually leave the floor." * On struggling with heavy deadlifts: "Don't stop pulling if it feels heavy. Like, it's heavy because it is. But just know that you're stronger than what it is heavy and you can lift that " * What she'd tell a new powerlifter (or herself a few years ago) about nutrition and supplementation * How and when she uses protein bars * The feedback she's received on her program Uplifted, and how she used it (twice!) in her last offseason Be sure to follow us on social media for daily fitness updates!

Look him up, and you'll see a researcher has been involved in many foundational studies in strength and supplement research. But this Ph.D. is also a bodybuilder with 3 decades of competition under his belt.

Highlights: - Why he's still competing in bodybuilding shows at age 54. - The secret to success: go to the gym 4-5 times a week for 30 years. - "It's not a team sport. I don't depend on others, I only depend on myself." - Kicking young people's asses in competition: "it's a way for me to be a bit of an ambassador for the older folk." - This guy wrote his master's thesis on an Atari computer.

And I say, 'OK. What if you lost 10 pounds of fat, and gained 10 pounds of muscle? You stand on the scale, and the needle doesn't move.'" - Why high-protein diets aren't as dangerous as some people say - "Leucine resistance" in middle-age and beyond, and what the minimum protein intake for older people should be - His answer for people who don't want to count macros: the 2/3 rule - Knowing all that he knows, what's in his shaker bottle? "I'd rather eat." - On weight-loss "transformations" and competition: "It's not about placing. It's about the grind, and how you feel about yourself. Do you feel good enough about yourself to be able to go through that process, and to be able to get out and just expose yourself to any and all criticism. She had met her goal.
